i've been around senator hagel when i was on active duty. we talked about a number of national security issues. he's been there presiding and on the panel when i've testified. i've had informal reactions with him. i never sensed any of that. i sense a guy who has paid the price for serving in uniform. he served his country, knows what it's like to be wounded. knows what it's like to have members of your family in the service and he's had a generation to reflect on the experiences of vietnam. i think he's going to be a guy who knows how to use force decisively and effectively and avoids ineffective and indecisive commitments of u.s. forces. >> well, certainly no one including myself doubts his valor as a soldier. that's not the issue. but tony fratto, it sounds like he's also soft on iran. he voted against iranian sanctions, that in turn makes me think or wonder or fear that, in fact, he would not put war on the table if iran got nuclear weapons. your take? >> yeah, i think that's really the bigger question, larry. a lot of questions about so

let's start with chuck hagel replacing leon panetta. i fear hagel is going to dismantle the whole department of defense. we're talking about jack lew who is certainly further to the left of tim geithner. mr. lew is a government lifer. and john kerry well to the left of hillary clinton who was also recorded as rather hawkish as a senator. now hilda solis is resigning. not sure what that means, but as the president's moving further to the left in his second term. not a centrist. let's bring back karen finney, columnist for the hill. guy benson, and mark simone. guy, i think these appointments, all three of them, particularly, particularly hagel at defense, show a move to the left. what's your take? >> sure, i mean, of course they do, the president's a lefty, that's who he is. and now that he never has to face voters again, i think we'll see his administration drift even further to the left. i do see the lew appointment at least as an opportunity for republicans to highlight the fact that we have not had a federal budget in almost four yea

chuck hagel has already made a statement about it today, defense secretary. but i think that the problem with north korea is this has been unstable for years now. this is not just in the past years of the obama administration. and the bush administration had to deal with this before. the clinton administration had to deal with them. we don't really have an answer because this is an unstable government with an untested, untried dictator who's 29 years old. >> and here's my problem, kellyann, is that we need china in this, as we talked about with wesley clarke earlier. and we need people who have relationships with china, high-level state-level relationships. aside from a few people in the administration who have been there from the president's first term, i'm not sure who's going to have -- does john kerry have it to deal with china if he has to? >> i would hope so. he's our secretary of state now. but there's no evidence that this was a burning issue to him when he was in the united states senate. when he ran for president i didn't hear him talk about it as m
